DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for mounting a plurality of supporting columns having a large number of locking slits in a height direction on a base plate and arranging a panel between the supporting columns. The present invention relates to an earthquake-resistant cap for display furniture that can prevent a panel from being detached from a support when an earthquake or the like is encountered in a state in which products are displayed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a store such as a supermarket, a number of support posts provided with a large number of locking slits in the height direction are provided on a base plate as display fixtures. A panel is supported between the columns, and a connecting member is attached and connected between the columns, and a detachable cap is mounted on each column, and a shelf plate is supported on the slit. In addition, there is often used a bracket for mounting a hanger or the like for suspending and supporting it.

[0003] However, in the above structure, when an earthquake occurs, the cap is easily detached and the panel is lifted upward, which may cause an accident that the furniture itself is collapsed or damaged. . This has been proven in the previous Great Hanshin Earthquake.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention is to provide a base plate having a plurality of columns provided with a large number of locking slits in the height direction. In a display fixture where a panel is supported between them, a connecting member is attached to each column between the columns, and a cap is mounted on each column, an earthquake or the like is encountered. It is an object of the present invention to provide a seismic cap for display furniture that can prevent an accident caused by detachment of the cap even if the cap does not detach.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a structure of an earthquake-resistant cap for a display fixture in which a large number of locking slits are provided on a base plate in a height direction. A display in which a number of columns are provided as appropriate and a panel is supported between the columns, a connecting member is mounted on the columns to connect the columns, and a cap is mounted on each column. In a furniture cap, on both sides of a pair of sides of a pair of substantially rectangular lid plates large enough to cover the top of the column, side walls having locking claws on the lower sides on both sides of the upper slit of the column are provided. A wing piece or a wing piece that presses an end of a connecting member on both sides of another set of sides of the lid plate and is bent and locked to an upper end side of a support post. A locking piece may be formed.

[0006]

The cap of the present invention has, on both sides of a pair of substantially rectangular cover plates large enough to cover the tops of the columns, locking claws at the lower portion for locking to upper slits provided on the columns. Since the side walls are formed, the locking claws are locked to the slits on the upper portion of the column, so that they are firmly attached to the column, and there is no danger of falling off from the column even if an earthquake or the like is encountered. In addition, it is possible to prevent the furniture from being collapsed or damaged due to the detachment of the cap.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a display fixture according to the present invention. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a display fixture to which the seismic cap of the present invention is attached when assembling, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a state before the cap is attached, FIG. 3 is a perspective view of one example of the seismic cap of the present invention, and FIG. FIG. 5 is a perspective view of another example.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a base plate for display fixtures, 2 denotes a column standing upright on the base plate 1, and the column 2 has a number of slits 3 for locking in its height direction. Brackets (not shown) for supporting display members such as shelves and hangers are engaged with slits 3 provided at intervals and having an appropriate height. Reference numeral 4 denotes a panel fitted between the columns 2 and 2 and supported by the columns. Reference numeral 5 denotes a rib mounted between upper portions of the columns 2 and 2 to connect the columns 2 and to support the panel 4.
A connecting member 5a and a deck 6 are integrally connected to the base plate 1.

In FIG. 3, reference numeral 7 denotes a substantially rectangular cover plate which is large enough to cover the top of the support column 2. Reference numeral 8 denotes side walls provided integrally on both sides of one set (short side in the figure) of the cover plate 7. At the lower end thereof, a locking claw 9 for locking the slit 3 on the upper portion of the support column 2 is provided, and the above constitutes an example of the earthquake-resistant cap C of the present invention.

The above-mentioned seismic cap C is provided on the top of the pillar 2 connected by the connecting members 5 and 5 from both sides, and the locking claw 9 is fitted in the slit 3 on the upper part of the pillar 1 and attached. 1 completely covers the top of the column 1 and the ends of the connecting members 5 and 5, so that the display fixture with the seismic cap C attached thereto is not affected by strong vibration due to an earthquake or the like. There is no danger of the furniture being collapsed or damaged. That is, it is extremely useful for improving the seismic resistance of display furniture.

FIG. 4 shows a wing piece 10 for covering the ends of the connecting members 5 and 5 on both sides of another set (long side in the figure) of the cover plate 1 of the seismic cap C shown in FIG. Is a seismic cap C 'according to another example of the present invention, which is provided slightly downward. If this seismic cap C ′ is attached to the top of the column 2 so that the wings 10 press the ends of the connecting members 5, 5,
Due to the elasticity of the wing piece 10, the locking claw 9 is fitted and locked in the slit 3 without rattling, so that it does not detach from the column 1 even if it is subjected to strong vibration due to an earthquake or the like, and furthermore, the connecting members 5, 5
Is strongly supported, and the seismic resistance of the display furniture is further improved.

FIG. 5 shows a seismic cap C "in which one wing piece 10 of the seismic cap C 'of FIG. 2 is bent to form a locking piece 11, and this seismic cap C" The locking piece 11 is positioned outside the column 1 at the end, and is locked to the column 1 so as to cover the top of the side wall of the column 1 where no slit is provided. By doing so, the wing piece 10
Can be prevented from protruding outward, and the appearance can be improved.

[0013]

As described above, the present invention is characterized in that a pair of lids each having a substantially square shape and covering the top of a column are provided on both sides of a pair of upper slits provided on the column on both lower sides. Since the side wall having the locking claw for locking is formed, if this is attached to the top of the column of the display fixture, even if the locking claw is locked to the slit of the column and receives strong vibration due to an earthquake or the like, There is no danger of easily detaching, and therefore, it is possible to prevent the display furniture from being collapsed or damaged due to an earthquake or the like.

Further, if the wing wall is provided slightly downward in addition to the locking claw, the wing wall presses the end of the connecting member, and the elasticity of the wing wall firmly locks the locking claw to the slit. Therefore, the seismic effect is further improved.

Further, if one of the wing walls is bent to form a locking piece, and positioned at the outside of the end column to cover the top of the side wall where the slit of the column is not provided, the wing can be provided. It is possible to prevent the piece from protruding to the outside of the column, and it is possible to improve the appearance.
